Apple Speech
Synthesizer
The Voice Master, a speech synthesizer originally introduced for the
Commodore 64, has been released for the Apple IIe as an expansion board
by Covox, Inc.
The Voice Master digitally records and plays back up
to ten seconds of natural speech in any order. Up to 64 numbered words,
phrases, or other sounds can be stored in memory for recall, using
BASIC commands.
Complete vocabularies also can be put on disk or
tape, and prerecorded vocabularies can be played back on some computers
without any additional hardware.
The hardware includes a microphone and software on
disk or tape, for $89.95.
